Mortal Kombat 11 is one of the best entries to the series in recent years. Several new gameplay mechanics have been added (Fatal Blows, Flawless Blocks, Breakaways, Dashes) and builds on previous mechanics to enhance the kombat. While the game feels slower overall than the previous MKX, it arguably improves on certain strategies and pacing. The storyline revolves around time and introduces a new villain named Cronica, who is bent on reshaping history in her own vision. Despite the fact that MK games generally have outlandish stories to begin with, MK11's is alluring enough for fans of the series. There are plenty of cinematic cutscenes between chapters to keep the excitement flowing. This is by far one the most visually beautiful fighters out there; animations are fluid, character models are jaw dropping, and backgrounds are varied, imaginative and highly detailed. Fatalities and brutalities are as savage and satisfying as ever, showcasing the series' patented brand of violence in an artistic way. The soundwork is solid across the board, from the voice acting to the crunching of bones.
MK11 features an impressive roster of both iconic and new characters. Two Kombat Packs were later released as DLC which added several classic and guest characters such as the Joker, Rambo, Spawn, and T-800. With 37 characters to choose from, there's plenty of choice for all kombat styles. There's a deep fighter customization system, with many skins and gear to collect. Set on Shang Tsung's island, the dark and atmospheric Krypt serves as the setting to unlock and open various chests filled with different pieces of equipment, as well as fatalities, taunts, intros, etc. Fighters' movesets can also be modified to create unique variations. There are other single player modes available apart from the main story such as classic towers and towers of time. Strangely the tutorial was by far the most difficult part of the single player experience with insanely hard challenges. Multiplayer mode includes the robust Kombat League, where players can test their might against others in ranked matches, with rewards on the line.
Mortal Kombat has come a long way since its inception and this latest instalment offers plenty of content and a great kombat experience, adding to its legendary status in the gaming world.
